My new A4 Avant Special Edition Quattro

[B-J-P]

After 2 years of BMW ownership I've gone back to an Audi, just put a deposit down on the new car this morning, he is refurbishing the alloys and calipers to any colour I want so will be having a look on here for some ideas. Probably get the chrome wrapped as well.

Its got a good spec
Xenons
Phone Prep
Electric heated seats
Nav Plus
Cruise
6 CD changer
Rear blinds
Folding mirrors
Parking sensors
BOSE sounds system

looks nice chap , changing the alloy's colour can be very tricky on black avants as they can look naff and make the whole look like a batmobile....
nice spec aswell.
you need to loose those nasty old exhaust tips straight away chap and get something much more suitable , de-badging the tailgate is allways a big improvement and swap to an RS4 front grill , just a few starters for you...
hope you enjoy it.

That is a really tidy looking car @B-J-P . I like anthracite wheels in a black car.

Cheers for the advice, it's lava grey so I'm thinking I might leave the alloys as standard or slightly more metallic than standard

Exhaust tips are a bit grubby, what do people do with these, do they come off as would like to replace with chrome tips?

Very nice mate.

Welcome back to Audi ownership......and in the best shape they made in the B7's

Quite a nice spec'd one also.

If it were upto me I think the wheels would look good in Matt Gunmetal Grey but then again I'm slightly biased.

Nice motor matey, very well specd car I must say.

I'm with Carl in the colour.

Lovely spec fella. Nice that you got a 2.0T in a quattro. I struggled to find a good one so had to settle for a tdi quattro. Get them Windows tinted to start with

Cheers, took me a while to find this one tbh. I'm thinking of going for the sun shades instead of the tints, had them on my B6 avant and they fit really well and don't look too bad

 

[carlcall]

I have the shades in my Avant and they are great.....fit perfectly and have the ability to remove them whenever.

there you go, I was sure it was black ,darn color blindness is at it again....still very nice car though chap.

Very tidy motor pal. Have to agree on keeping wheels silver. Tips should clean up wuth a bit of elbow grease and wire wool. I've had tints and blinds and while blinds give you the option to remove. I think tints look a lot better especially from a back seat passengers point of view. Each to their own though

Welcome to the audi family

Believe it or not but the exhaust tips are supposed to be black thats how they came from factory on Special Editions.

 

[sline29]

I thought all special editions had the black optics pack?
Mine has eg,roof,window trims,grill exhaust
Nice car nevertheless
Looks in mint condition

 

[Charlie Farley]

nope, only the mk2 special editions had the full black optics pack , I have a mk1 with selected black parts with the brushed ally finish trim , kinda prefer it now , my tips were factory black 80mm jobbies but even when new and clean didn't really look that nice , changed them a while back for some super stainless steel item in 90mm diameter slash cut.

 

[Charlie Farley]

currently have these tips in stainless, 90mm and fit spot on, sound nice aswell.

 

[Tommmygunnn]

Those tips look great Rob can I ask where were they are from, and did they need to be welded on?

Really prefer the look of these ! this is how they should of come out of the factory !

Mine was registered March 2008 so would seem as though it should of been a mk2 special edition - but came without the black optics pack. Annoying as my B6 had the black trim around the windows and prefer this !

Welcome to the lava club

 

[Charlie Farley]

if those rims are the factory fitted items then they are correct for the mk2 as the mk1 came factory fitted with the ronals as also fitted to the DTM's , a little odd yours doesn't have the black trim , but it's audi so anything is possible .
My avant came with the RS4 rear anti roll bar from the factory and it wasn't even an option....i'm not complaining....

I'm about to put this up for sale, time for a diesel as going to be doing some increased mileage. Haven't prepped the car yet so thought i would start the ball rolling here for now. Its only done 73,000 miles and still in amazing condition. Anyone interested please let me know, cheers
